Hi Leslie,

 

Can you show us a snapshot of what you are doing?

Hi Leslie,

 

Instead can you use spotweld with spring as element config?

 

You can try creating spot weld (with config type as spring) using nodes for instance and check if that meets your requirement.

i use your methode (Spring as PELAS or PUSH1 or PUSH), but it says:

 

 

  *** See next message about line 55 from file:

So, Do you have both connecting nodes in the same component?
